Four-socket Xeon 8160 server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R940 packs four Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors into a 3U rack chassis. Each CPU runs at 2.10 GHz with 24 cores and a 3.7 GHz turbo frequency. The system ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2666 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 modules.

Suits memory-heavy workloads in limited rack space

This server targets organisations that need maximum core count and memory capacity in a 3U footprint. The 48 DIMM slots support up to 6 TB of DDR4 for in-memory databases or virtualisation density. Buyers who require installed storage drives or GPU acceleration should look elsewhere, as the unit ships with empty 2.5-inch trays and no GPU provisioning.

48 DDR4 slots define the memory ceiling

The 48 registered ECC slots set the hard limit for memory expansion. With 24 slots already populated by 32 GB modules, further upgrades must use identical DDR4 RDIMMs to maintain compatibility and reach the 6 TB maximum.

Questions about this item

What does having four Xeon 8160 processors at 2.1 GHz actually deliver in a live workload?

Four 24-core Xeon 8160 CPUs run at a base 2.1 GHz and can turbo to 3.7 GHz, giving 768 GB of DDR4-2666 memory across 48 slots for large in-memory datasets.

How does the H730P controller and the X520/I350 network card limit drive and network speed in practice?

The PERC H730P supports 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA with RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60, while the X520/I350 daughter card provides two 10 Gb SFP+ and two 1 GbE ports.

What rack space, rails and power connections does this 3U server need to install?

It occupies 3U, includes ready rails and a front bezel, and requires two 1600 W redundant hot-swap power supplies.
